@edgarblythe,
nuh uh....this here's strolling....




Which leads me to this classic.

You know, when this movie came out in 1977 it seemed kinda corny to my crowd. But today when I watch Travolta dance I'm thinkin' "****, he was hot"

@chai2,
The Bee Gees were likely little kids when the Stroll was popular.

'Since I Met You Baby' by Ivory Joe Hunter. This version of this song by Ivory Joe Hunter is slower and fits the era...of slow dancing. (Sam Cooke has a fine version however, it's awesome but a bit jazzier).

On my XM radio there is a station that plays only '50's music. It's a guilty pleasure of mine, (I usually listen to classical music)

@panzade,
Yeah, him, Les Paul, Chuck Berry and maybe Bill Haley and His Comets were clearly trend-setters, considering it was 1956. Before that you rarely heard guitar as a lead instrument. Of course, as far as lead goes, there was Django Reinhardt, but that was jazz and by no means mainstream pop music.

Anybody notice that you couldn't sing in the '50s unless you wearing a suit and tie, or at least a sports coat?

@roger,
I sang up a storm in the '50s and my mom threw shoes at me. In fact, so did the neighbors. Enough shoes that I opened up a shoe store.
